Rock On: New Ute A.D. is out of the house

The 30-year-old Camillus, New York, man whose parents evicted him from their house got in a parting jab by calling the police.

Michael Rotondo said he left his son's Legos on the basement floor, but claimed his father wouldn't let him back in the house to retrieve them.

New Ute athletic director Mark Harlan vaguely knows the feeling. He signed a contract extension with South Florida six weeks before taking the Utah job. Don't plan on them letting him back in his office to pick up his pencil sharpener.

EVER EARLY

Harlan was hired on the first day of June, though school officials intimated the appointment would be coming much later in the month.

No truth to rumors the Utes have moved up their Aug. 30 football opener against Weber State to the 28th.

THE UNDERCRUST

University of Utah President Ruth Watkins, noting the school hadn't changed athletic directors for 31 years, said, "We were a little bit rusty."

Cleveland's J.R. Smith said dribbling out the clock with the score tied in Game 1 was actually a case of trying to clear a shot.

LeBron James is thinking, "Fake news!"

MONEY SHOT

During the first round of The Memorial, Jordan Spieth implored fans: "If everybody could do me a huge favor and not video this shot. Thank you. Sometimes it's cool to actually watch. Please, no phones. Can't have any going off in this shot. Thank you."

"Why didn't I think of that?" said every drunken celebrity ever.
